'''Flomps'''<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vkzxf2ITZt0#t=469]</ref> (known as '''Floating Plates''' in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] guide) are a type of Thwomp appearing in the game ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. They appear as a green platform with spikes on their sides and have a similar face to a [[Bomp]]. They move from side to side. At first glance, they seem like ordinary platforms, but after a few seconds, they make a malicious face and quickly flip over. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] is on one of these platforms when they flip, he will be knocked high into the air. They appear in only two galaxies: [[Bowser's Lava Lair]] and the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]].
